TF2: 101 Facts You (Maybe) Didn't Know!

How did Studio Ghibli inspire TF2's art style? What's the most expensive Team Fortress item ever sold? And what gender is the Pyro officially? Over 100 interesting facts and fun trivia about the TF2 universe collected here for your entertainment!

With my 15 years experience in and around the world of Team Fortress, I decided to gather as many cool stories, surprising truths and little-known mechanics in the following categories: lore (story, what we know about the TF2 characters outside of the game), gameplay (uncommon mechanics and interactions or obscure abilities), items (facts about rare hats, or cool trivia about how certain items came to exist), development (history about TF2's development and unusual facts not many people know), and finally community activities (events and achievements of the amazing TF2 players who have contributed to the game's legacy).

I gathered around 20 facts in each category, mixed them around so there's variety all the way through the video, and balanced out the categories where I felt some facts would be lesser known compared to others. What's left is a collection of some of Team Fortress's coolest trivia and rare nuggets of knowledge that you (maybe) didn't know!

As always, the incredible TF2 Wiki is a great source of verification and inspiration. These articles in particular helped source many of the facts in this video:

I'm releasing this video 10 years to the day from my first ever video with voice over "5 Things You (Maybe) Didn't Know About Spy":    • TF2 Tips: 5 Things You (Maybe) Didn't...  
I consider that video my first step in to "doing YouTube" with any sort of conscious effort, so 10 years later this video over 20x bigger is very much a celebration of those 10 years and a homage to the video that started it all. I also chose many of these 101 facts as a sort of "greatest hits" of Casperr content, with many of the chosen facts having previously had a dedicated video on this channel in the past, whilst at the same time being an opportunity for me to throw in a few cool pieces of TF2 trivia I never found a way to squeeze into a video before now.
